Genesis Lyrics by Bobby James

The Ugly Duckling

2013

[Verse: Bobby James]
They say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
Got cavities from sweet 16s, I got a sweet tooth
Dentist tell me to floss, but I do so I don't need to
This for the people and everlasting sequel
I try to preach the gospel but it's gossip to these God folk
Through the pews and the choir hittin' high notes
We born in sin, baptized then born again
Tell Jesus Christ to cover me, I'm goin' in
With a halo, and a angel, and a bible, and a rifle
And Bobby fightin' for survival
We stereotypical on every individual
Like I'm better than you, nobody invincible
They try to compare you, you know compared to
A parallel view you better be careful
I'm flippin' through the scriptures hope my vision paint a picture
All my life been darkskin-ded, my skin been painted nigga
Tricked into saying nigga, quick to hate a nigga
'Til it's click-clack pap-pap, we quick to spray a nigga
That's another nigga dead, another nigga bleed
From niggas killin' niggas, my niggas far from ahead
We blame it on the white man and his white skin
We be recitin', Bobby don't you be triflin'
We gettin' deeper in, church let them teachers in
Schools let them preachers in, the hood lettin' neither in
It's gettin' deeper than, we fallin' off the deeper end
Drownin', somebody let the grim reaper swim

[Bridge]
(Uh, Uh) Somebody let the grim reaper swim
(Uh) Somebody let the grim reaper swim

[Outro: Shanice Monee']
Back to life, back to reality
Back to life, caught up in reality
Ring ding dong, ring-da-ding ding ding dong
Ring ding dong, ring-da-ding ding ding dong
Back to life, back to reality
Ring ding dong, ring-da-ding ding ding dong
Back to life, caught up in reality
Ring ding dong, ring-da-ding ding ding dong
Back to life, back to reality
Ring ding dong, ring-da-ding ding ding dong
Back to life, caught up in reality
Ring ding dong, ring-da-ding ding ding dong
